Are You Receiving MoHud Emails?

MoHud sends out monthly emails containing the latest version of our monthly newsletter, the Knock Off, or the “KO” to us old timers. Our esteemed KO editor reports that a significant portion of the email addresses she has for members who signed up to receive these KO emails are outdated and come back to her as undeliverable. If you haven’t received an email from us recently, please contact Lisa Hanifan, our KO editor, and ask her to check on whether we have the correct email address for you currently. We’d like to make sure we are communicating with our members. You can contact Lisa at lhanifa1 @ nycap.rr.com (that’s the number one at the end of “hanifa”).

Next Membership Meeting Is Wednesday, March 4th, 2015

Shake off the snow and cold by coming out to a membership meeting. Meetings are held the first Wednesday night of each month at The Orchard Tavern in Albany, NY. Meetings are located in the back room of the restaurant, and start at 7:30pm, but folks usually gather beginning around 6:30pm to catch up while getting a bite to eat before the meeting starts. Come on out and find out what your club is up to!

Don’t own a race car? Try our Solo (AutoCross) or PDX (track day) programs, which allow you to drive your regular street car on a closed course at speed. Solo events are held in large open parking lots, with one car at a time around a course delineated by traffic cones. You’re timed and grouped with like cars, and there’s always a novice walk-through in the morning and other drivers willing to lend a hand.

Track days are hosted at famous road courses like Lime Rock Park, where you’ll get seat time driving full-out on the track in your own vehicle. We pair you with an instructor when you’re starting out and the day includes classroom instruction.

For fun on open public roads, try a RoadRally (also called TSD or Time-Speed-Distance). TSD rallies take place at legal speeds and follow a carefully plotted course mapped out and distributed the morning of the event — so bring a navigator!

Don’t like to race? Don’t worry because in addition to the driving-related, MoHud also hosts a variety of extracurricular group outings each year courtesy of activities director Pete Smith. Annual events include duck tours, go karts, and golfing — in addition to our award banquets and regular monthly meetings. There’s always a strong social aspect even at the race track.
